Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale: Pica is the term used to describe the consumption of nonfood items. It is often associated with a decreased iron deficiency during pregnancy, but is also a cultural practice which has been practiced for centuries. There are specific classifications of Pica which are associated with specific substances eaten. Geophagia is the consumption of soil, dirt, or baked clay. Amylophagia is the consumption of laundry starch, corn starch, or other similar starches. Pagophagia is the consumption of ice and freezer frost.
